Parenting Again is a resource tool developed to help grandparents who have become parents again.

This is due to many reasons, some of which include substance abuse, child abuse, neglect, parental illness, death, domestic violence, divorce, teen pregnancy, and incarceration. This issue knows no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
